Scuba diving

Scuba diving is a mode of underwater diving in which a scuba diver uses a self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (scuba) to breathe underwater.

Unlike other modes of diving, which rely either on breath-hold or on breathing gas pumped from the surface, scuba divers carry their own source of breathing gas, usually compressed air, allowing them greater freedom of movement than with an air line or diver's umbilical and longer underwater endurance than breath-hold. Scuba equipment may be open circuit, in which exhaled gas is expelled to the surroundings, or a closed or semi-closed circuit rebreather, in which the breathing gas is scrubbed to remove carbon dioxide, and the oxygen used is replenished from a supply of feed gas before being re-breathed.

Scuba diving may be done recreationally or professionally in a number of applications, including scientific, military and public safety roles, but most commercial diving uses surface supplied diving equipment when this is practicable.

Silverton Las Vegas

Silverton Las Vegas is a 300-room hotel and casino in Enterprise, Nevada, near the southern end of the Las Vegas Valley. Located on an 80-acre (32 ha) site, the hotel's market is California tourists and locals. The 64,701-square-foot (6,010.9 m²) casino is set on a rustic lodge and water motif. It is owned and operated by Ed Roski.

History

Ed Roski's company, Majestic Realty Co., purchased an 80-acre parcel of land along Interstate 15 in 1989, intending to build an industrial warehouse.

On July 8, 1993, Boomtown, Inc. and Roski announced a joint venture to open Boomtown Blue Diamond. The $70-million facility would be constructed by Roski, with financing from Boomtown.

Boomtown Las Vegas opened on May 27, 1994. A month later, Boomtown, Inc. exercised an option to buy out Roski's 50% share of the property's operating company.

The casino struggled to draw visitors, earning annual cash flow of less than $10 million. With Boomtown, Inc. set to be acquired by Hollywood Park, Inc., an agreement was reached on August 12, 1996 for Roski to buy the property's operating company, in exchange for $8.5 million in promissory notes, $2.1 million in cash and a release from the property's lease. The sale was completed on July 1, 1997, the day after the Hollywood Park-Boomtown merger was completed.
